Although one would expect these smaller cylinders to generally contain shorter
recordings, they were oftentimes recorded at fewer revolutions per minute (RPM).
Whereas a standard-sized cylinder of this era might typically be recorded in the
115 to 130-RPM range, a cuff-length cylinder might run from 90 to 125-RPM.
In this case, The Esquimaux Dance appears to have been recorded at 102-RPM.

The 1892 New Jersey Phonograph Company record catalog shows a list of 20 clarinet solos,
"by the popular soloist and composer, Mr. William M. Tuson",
concluding with the following entry:

426

The Esquimaux Dance, With jingling of bells, barking of dogs, etc

Based on other listings in the catalog, I would be willing to bet that the pianist
is none other than Edward Issler of Issler's orchestra!
